New road on the western shore of Lake Como by 2026

The ancient Regina Road which passes in the western part of Lake Como was not meant for cars. During the time when the first settlements were built on Lake Como, the main transport was boat.

What to say now when the traffic grows year by year, the ancient Regina road doesn't hold up.

The project for the new "Variante di Tremezzina" road involves the construction of the 9.8 km highway variant, of which 7.8 will be in the tunnel. Thus freeing the ancient Regina Road that passes between the towns of Colonno, Sala Comacina, Ossuccio, Lenno, Mezzegra, Tremezzo and Griante.

The entry is expected between Argegno and Colonno and the exit between Griante and Menaggio.

Construction sites are expected to open by the end of 2020 or, at the latest, in the first months of 2021.

The end of the construction site is hoped for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The new road will allow a saving in travel times and an easier connection with Switzerland, Valtellina and Val Chiavenna.

We are sure that the cost of houses located close to the ancient road will increase, as well as the general situation on the real estate market in these cities will improve.
